Or, Plant goes digital.
I began recording from the Crewman Daniels satellite to a DVD recorder.
Oh, my. Much better than my VHS recorder.
I wish we knew a motive for V’Los. Is he just a Republican, or what?
Ending mostly as expected. I noticed that only the first episode of this arc was written by Reeves-Stevens. Maybe that’s why the name dropping ceased. They are “Executive Story Editors”.
Archer kicks ass with a lurpa. That and the neck pinch resumably come from Surak. Reminds me of Young Frankenstein.
Vulcan Nerd Boy makes you wonder if Vulcan pimples are green.
Archer kicks ass with a loofa? Another shower scene? Don’t they know the November sweeps are over?
I actually made sure the VCR was set up last night. Why couldn’t this show be this good two years ago?
By the way, that little cutie in the 1978 shag is T’Pau? What happened to the Russian Yiddische accent she had in the original series and first movie? I suppose if you live that long you go through a bunch of different accents.
Proof that I’m a bigger geek than I will admit to: I stumbled on a discussion of the same topic on a Trek board. (reading) Those guys are pathetic. And WRONG! I should join just so I can tell them how wrong they are.
I thought the T-Rexes in F-16s scene was a little over the top, though. How they gonna fly 'em? Their arms are too short to reach the stick, fer crying out loud!
The Vulcans battle display is cool. Just like last week.
How could an Andorian “slip in” to spy on Vulcans?
WMDs vs evidence of WMDs, just like last week. Which I pointed out last week in about post #10 but was ignored until it was brought up on page three like it was a new idea! :dubious: Why, I oughtta…
Don’t toy with me. I have a bottle of Ortho and I am not afraid to use it.
And pay? What’s that? You mean you want money? Uh… let me get back to you on that . . .
In all seriousness (especially since I’m the odd man out in that I can’t watch and comment and am kept mostly in joke mode), this three-parter sounds really interesting and I look forward to seeing it in a couple months. While the first two seasons were dreck (or so I’m told) and the third was good but flawed, it seems like it’s really starting to come into its own now. I doubt it will ever be good enough to shake its image as the worst Trek (excepting maybe Voyager) but DS9 is often overlooked in favor of TNG and TOS and it’s easily on their level as well. Recognition is nice but hardly required.
God, Buddha, Shiva, YHWH, and Allah bless Manny Coto.
What is wrong with Soval’s right ear? Near the tip is either a scar or a not put on right prosthetic.
I was chosen! Wah… So, I have to do it.
I’m liking the exterior views of the Vulcan’s architecture.
Why does the Vulcan conference hall have a picture from the back of the Dollar Bill on it?
So, the low volume talking dosen’t get transmitted? Was Hoshi watching closely, opening and closing the channel? Or was it yet another example of Trek communication nit #1079?
Soval and Schran are close talkers.
Girl Vulcan on Girl Vulcan action! Yeay! T’Pau is so CUTE!
Kidnapped!
AND ANOTHER DAMN PREVIEW OF AN UPCOMING SCENE!!! Who can I write to (or call) about this SHIT!? :mad:
Romulans? How were they introduced? Was canon violated? I want them involved but I’d prefer for them to be kept unmasked until “Balance of Terror”. Adds an aura of intrigue to an already interesting enemy.
The first episode of this arc sucked so much I didn’t watch the second. This one was great. Archer’s still a little wooden, but T’Pol has really come into her own. Was it just me or did she seem more Vulcan after the mind meld?
“They’ve got weapons of mass destruction! We must invade!” Uh huh. Sure. Interesting subtext there, especially considering Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz et. al. were called “The Vulcans” during the Regan administraion…
